Foggy Mountain Guide Service

Foggy Mountain Guide Service isn't seasonal. Black bear hunting is the full-time operation—not a sideline. Founded by Wayne Bosowicz and now run by Brandon Bishop and his licensed Maine guides, the outfit has spent decades developing prime hunting territory and stands in Maine's best bear country.

"Record-book black bear are consistently taken in Maine year after year." – From their trophy room results

You don't field dress and figure it out yourself. Foggy Mountain handles the work:

• •Track and retrieve your game
• •Field dress and skin
• •Prepare meat and hide for transport
• •Freezer storage during your stay
• •Trophy preparation for taxidermist (or they'll introduce you to local specialists)
• •Meat cutting and packaging available locally

Unlike most outfitters, you don't get doubled up in a bunkhouse. Your party gets private sleeping quarters. Housekeeping hunts give you kitchen access; American Plan hunts include all meals. This matters because good sleep matters for a good hunt.

Every hunter who books receives a complete confirmation kit with detailed equipment info, clothing specs, and graphic illustrations of optimal shooting angles.

"I'm ready to round up a hunting partner for next year." – D.L. Roy Harrington, North Carolina, 2017

"The whole experience for both of us will be remembered forever. Even though she didn't hunt she told me several times that she didn't want to go home." – Michel "Scott" Stirn, Indiana, 2017
